Abstract: Polymer melt droplets fall through a falling tower(12) with an opposing fluid flow to a precrystallizing stage(45). In the latter stage the droplets are swirled by a gas-vibrated cloth-like element and/or are fed to a hopper shaped area at the end of the falling zone which is supplied with gas to induce turbulence for moving droplets towards the central area and/or outlets.  An Independent claim is also included for a plant for manufacturing the beads which includes a nozzle plate(10) for dropping polymer through a falling zone with a hopper-shaped lower end. The hopper periphery is bordered by a vibrating cloth(50) and/or a self supporting sheet with openings and the hopper base leads to a crystallizing unit and a post condensation stage. Preferred Features: Gas inlets in the hopper area ensure that melt droplets are swirled tangentially along the inner face of the hopper area. Gas pulses for vibrating the cloth follow a sine wave and have frequency of 1-30Hz, preferably 1-10Hz. Maximum gas speed is  <= 2m/sec, preferably  <= 0.3m/sec, more preferably  <= 0.1m/sec and gas pressure is 0-200 mbar, preferably 0-150 mbar above atmospheric. The cloth or self-supporting sheet openings whose diameter is  <= 0.2mm, preferably  <= 0.1mm.

Abstract: In a FLIR/laser based targeting and imaging system, the ability to recognize, detect, locate, and/or track targets in an area of interest is significantly improved by reducing the fixed and dynamic alignment errors between the IR LOS and the laser LOS. Fixed alignment errors are reduced with an improved internal boresight module and corresponding boresight method. Dynamic alignment errors are reduced with an opto-electric subsystem that employs a single pitch bearing and a common pitch/yaw afocal for both the laser energy and the IR energy. A segmented window in the system housing includes a circular EMI grid pattern which significantly reduces the amount of off-axis EMI entering the optical pathways, and improved signal processing techniques are employed to enhance the quality of the IR image after the image has been digitized.

Abstract: A chamber of a second forming tool(3) located in a first forming tool(1) or a chamber(18) in the first forming tool is filled with a flowable molding material. First and second forming tools are then moved relative to each other so that material is partially purged from the chamber. A thin wall(7) of material remaining between the inner wall(16) of the first forming tool and outer wall(15) of the second forming tool forms the final component. Molding material may completely or partly fill the chamber. Relative movement of both forming tools(1,3) either purges molding material in the gap between the two tools or may draw a film of the material into the gap. Additional molding material may be added after tool movements. For introducing thin-walled insulation of moldable material into grooves of stator plates in electrical machines stator plates positioned behind one another in the first forming tool create a chamber for filling with moldable material. Independent claims are included for: a) a thin walled component of moldable material produced by the claimed process; b) thin walled insulation of moldable material in grooves of stator plates of an electrical machine; c) a tool system comprising first(1) and second(2) tools which move relative to each other for production of the claimed thin walled components.

Abstract: The system uses a procedure in which articles such as shell fish are placed automatically in individual cups (3) that are passed over two separate sets of weighing systems. One weighing system set (8) measures the weight of each cup immediately before filling, and the other after it has been filled, and the weight of each article is taken from the average of several weighings, preferably fifteen in number, that take place at high speed, preferably 50 per second. The cups are filled as they pass in rapid succession round a turntable with horizontal guide rails (29), sensors (37) and tilting mechanisms that empty them after weighing. The weight measurements are transferred directly to the memory of a central processing unit by a rapid link, preferably operating at 38400 Bauds.

Abstract: A Sequential Shunt Switching Regulation cell ÄS3RÜ adapted to connect a power source, such as a solar array panel (SAi), to a users bus (Vbus) under control of a signal (INCTRi). The cell (S3R) comprises a phase anticipator circuit (PAC) adapted to reduce the delay between the moment the control signal is received and the moment the power source is connected to the bus, modifying thereby the hysteresis due to parasitic capacitances of the cell and the solar array. Several such cells are included in a power supply arrangement including a power conditioning and distribution unit (PCDU) comprising also a mean error amplifier (MEA) adapted to detect the voltage (OUTS3R) at the user bus and to provide corresponding control signals to the cells. Owing to the phase anticipator circuits in the cells, double sectioning is avoided. In other words, a power source (SAi) is connected to the bus before the mean error amplifier requires the connection of a second one (SAj). <IMAGE>
